If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s solicitors will also conduct an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be made.
three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Thames Ditton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm buying a new build house in Thames Ditton with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
